It will take you about 2 minutes to implement and works like a charm.MARK.B

Oh right. I wouldn't know what that was. I just got pointed to the hack and it works well.
For me it doesn't matter, as I have so many hacks upgrading is a major task anyway. However, it'd be handy for others to know how to it that wayMARK.B

Did you update your forum permissions? this is just to prohibit them from seeing the posts before they are registeredComment

zachery,
yes, forum permissions have been updated. for the forums that guests cannot access, i have set 'Can View Forum' to Yes and all other permissions to No.
but i wanted to change the 'Last Post - Never' remark so that guests aren't under the impression that there is no activity.
i just saw this recent post, which you also replied to, that allows guests to see number of Threads / Posts in a forum prior to registering, but it also does not address the 'Last Post - Never' setting. otherwise, it seems to help:
Folks, I'm a bit stuck, i'd like for everyone, (including unreg'd / not logged in) users to be able to see the post / thread counts from the forum index, but not be able to view the forum's posts. In my user permissions i've got everything set to no, apart from under the forum viewing permissions "Can view forum"
if i could also address the 'Never' statement i'd be really happyComment

Do a phrase search for the word 'Never' and edit the appropriate phrase to say whatever you want.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)
